WW2 458th Bomb Squadron Patch / By Newley Roe

Reproduction of the 458th Bomb Squadron insignia by Newly Roe of the UK...
 
Applied to leatherette, a man made leather type of material or waterproofed canvas, this is a re-master from an original. Artist Roe has since passed on but his work is frequestly being sold as originals from WW2. Fact is that without him being able to speak for them, they are collectible in their own right but certainly not period originals. My goal is to credit him for the fine work he's done along with giving these a place of their own in the collecting world...
